Coire na Tulaich / Stob Dearg

So, with Roger, Barrie and James, on day 3 of our Jagged Globe Intro Winter Mountaineering course we set off on another adventure. We headed for Glencoe and Coire na Tulaich aiming to use the skills we learnt yesterday on the Ben. So they led themselves up the gully using rock anchors, snow anchors, indirect belaying and semi-direct belaying.
We quickly took in the summit of Stob Dearg. We talked about turn around times on big mountains. Barrie is soon heading off for Lhakpa Ri, and so we adopted a turn around time for our summit and got to the top with 3 minutes to spare! Back down again we talked about how to get down steep slopes and abseiled off our snow ballard. Here is Barrie enjoying the abseil.
James initially had concerns about abseiling but ended up wanting a second go...
Roger taking it in his stride.
So another great day. Where shall we head tomorrow? ...
